Fluoroalkylated alkenes are of significant importance in life sciences and functional materials. The fluoroalkylation of alkynes offers an efficient method for the synthesis of functionalized fluoroalkylated alkenes. However, the current methods are often limited to 1,2-difunctionalization, while the remote fluoroalkylative difunctionalization of alkynes has been rarely developed. Herein, a novel visible-light-induced remote halo-difluoroalkylation of thioalkynes is realized with difluoroalkyl halides as the radical source, forming distally halogenated (Z)-fluoroalkylated alkenes in moderate to high yields with excellent regio-, stereo-, and site-selectivity. The notable features of this reaction include the mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, concurrent formation of three new chemical bonds, and a thermodynamically less stable (Z)-alkene, thus enabling it a highly attractive method for organic synthesis. It represents a new advance on the direct C-H bond halogenation. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate a cascade radical process involving the heteroatom-induced β-fluoroalkylation of C-C triple bonds, intramolecular 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (1,5-HAT), single electron transfer (SET) oxidation and halide addition.
